After I've used any Pod Farm plug in for a short time, opening and closing a few times etc., upon trying to open any plug in by double clicking in the mixer page, the plug in insert is simply removed instead of opened, until I restart Logic. Anyone else have this?

After further review of your download history, it appears as though you were previously using POD Farm 2.02. If you did not fully uninstall POD Farm 2.02 from the computer before upgrading to POD Farm 2.50 or 2.51 then it is possible that you have some conflicting AU plugin files.

Please use the instructions at the page below to completely remove all instances of POD Farm and Line 6 Software from your computer:

Can you please then try using the License Manager software to de-authorize and re-authorize your computer as well as all of your Line 6 devices. Make sure to remove the information when prompted to, and then install again when prompted to, this will ensure that you reinstall all of your available Line 6 assets from your account into your device.

I did all this and it still does the same thing. After opening and closing windows with plugins in Logic 64bit mode, after a short time, instead of opening a plugin window on a double click, it removes the plugin instead.

It happens both in previous sessions, and new sessions. I made a Lion test disk this weekend, and it does the same thing on that fresh install. Also happens in 32bit.

In a new session for example, if I open an elements preamp, then another 3rd party plug, and then alternately open and close them, after 6 'openings', the next double click produces no result. A further double click removes the instance of the plugin. Double clicking anywhere at this point will remove plugins, change outputs to 'no output'. The contextual menu which should show when holding down on an insert / output selector no longer shows.

Did you make sure and follow all of the terminal instructions as well? I would suggest to follow these instructions one more time, and when looking in these file locations outlined below, remove all line6 files located within these locations.

o Uninstall the current drivers using the uninstaller located at:

Applications/Line6/Drivers - Drivers Uninstaller

Once you have uninstalled the drivers, repair your disc permissions, to do so:

Open the disc utility program located within your utilities folder, select your primary hard drive, and repair disc permissions. Restart the computer.

o Upon restart throw the entire Applications/Line6 folder in the trash.

o Manually search in the following locations and delete any files labeled and related to Line 6 or POD Farm found from within each of these folders:

Library/Audio/Plugin-Ins/Components

Library/Audio/Plugin-Ins/VST

Library/Audio/MIDI Drivers

Library/Frameworks (look for L6WXTG and L6WXTY.framework and delete them)

Library/Application Support/Line 6

Library/Application Support/Digidesign/Plug-Ins

User/Library/Application Support/Line 6

User/Documents/Line 6

User/Library/Preferences (Line6 preferences, should be something like com.line6.xxxxx, etc. Delete.)

o Empty the Trash.

o Next, go into Applications/Utilities and launch the Terminal application and type the following commands at the prompt:

cd // (then press the enter key)

cd /private/var/db/receipts (then press the enter key)

sudo rm -i com.line6* (then press the enter key)

Enter your Mac OSX account password when prompted to. Note: you will NOT see the cursor acknowledge any characters being input; you will need to type your system password correctly and hit "Enter"!

Type Yes or y to every option/question to remove Line 6 software components (there will be a good number of confirmations, FYI).

Then you will need to close all open applications then use the License Manager software to de-authorize and re-authorize your device. Make sure to remove the information when prompted to, and then install again when prompted to, this will ensure that you reinstall all of your available Line 6 assets from your account into your device.

Launch Logic, create a new session, insert the plugin on the track. Test it for sound processing, and as you did before, open another plugin and open and close them a few times. Save the sessions, close it, re open it, re test it.

Just followed these instructions to the letter again and it's still doing exactly the same thing. I've realised that it will happen when just closing and reopening the plugin window, and in 32bit mode. It also happens with each plugin, and after varying numbers of openings.

I doesn't and never has happened with any of my other plugins.

Is this something that you can't reproduce? Any other Mac users want to spend a quick five minutes opening and closing a Pod Farm 2.51 plug in Logic to see if it's just me?!?!?

I have been unable to reproduce this problem on my new MacBook Pro - 10.6.8, running Logic Pro 9.1.4 with POD Farm 2.51.

You mentioned that it happens with each plugin? Are you referring to Logic's native plugins as well as other 3rd party plugins? Or just other instances of POD Farm 2.51 within the same sessions?

At this time I would suggest you try using POD Farm 2.02 instead. You will need to follow the instructions that I just provided to you to completely remove Line 6 software, only this time instead of downloading and installing POD Farm 2.51, download and install POD Farm 2.02 from the link below:

I upgraded again to 2.51 and it's back to doing the same thing. Using a completely blank session, I make one channel, place one Preamp elements plugin on the channel, and open and close it. After between 2 and never more than 10 times, the next double click does nothing. Then another double click and the plugin is removed.

Within the window between these two double clicks, double clicking anywhere within the mixer will act as if the first option in the contextual menu has been chosen - ie on the output will remove the output, or on any other plugin will remove any other plugin. It's like logic gets put in a state where the contextual menu breaks. Clicking and holding will not bring the menu up.

It happens with each of the Pod Farm Elements plugins, in any session, and never happens with either Logic's native plugins, or any other 3rd party plugin.

i am having the same problem. pod farm platinum 2.51.0 64-bit (iLok), Mac Pro, Lion 10.7.4, Logic Pro 9.1.7 64-bit. not only are my plug-ins "disappearing" but it seems to have corrupted some of my project files as well. PLEASE HELP or give me a service ticket!

objc[210]: Class L6ComboBoxData is implemented in both /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/POD Farm Bass Amps.component/Contents/MacOS/POD Farm Bass Amps and /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/POD Farm Distortions.component/Contents/MacOS/POD Farm Distortions. One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.

So Logic appears to be going through the trash looking for stuff? This made me think maybe Reason/Record has something to do with it. Record comes bundled with some Line6 stuff - could that be 32-bit stuff and messing with it?

It is in the trash now because I removed Record when I upgraded to Reason 6.5. But it may been looking in the Record folder beforehand.

I'm starting to suspect that if I blow away everything and reinstall fresh Logic Pro and Reason and Pod Farm it might work - sounds extreme though.

Does anyone else use Record and see any console messages like those above?

1. I emptied my trash which got rid of that second console error - seems it was unrelated to this topic.

2. I went through all the directories full of l6t files created by various versions of Pod Farm, Gear Box etc and consolidated them into a directory containing just the POD Farm2 ones and the ones I have created in PF2.

In the past I never removed all of these because there were custom creations throughout - the interface and way it saves it pretty messy so its hard to avoid this. I then went into the PF2 source folders section on the left and made sure it cold only access this folder. The other stuff is elsewhere if I ever need it. I was actually doing this to get rid of all the duplicates, not really trying to fix this issue.

After that I had about half an hour of opening projects and accessing PF2 plugins on various gtr tracks and had none disappear and thought I had fixed it - until just when I started feeling pleased 1 did disappear and then after that all the others did as well.

So where does that leave things? If I google any of these errors I just get this page!! Guess we give Line6 a couple more days to offer any help and then I will revert back to 32-bit, swear off 2.53 ever again and start checking out other 64-bit amp modellers. Shame really.

Don responded to a support ticket I raised and indicated it is a bug and the software teams are still working on it. Until further notice revert to 2.02. Shouldn't be any performance or quality hit - just Logic's audio 32-bit bridge program popping up and down.
